Neutrik USA introduces the new Asymmetrical Push Tabs. Designed for use in space-sensitive applications such as the use of plug-in modules or small portable devices, the new Asymmetrical Push Tabs are positioned to the right (1 o’clock) of the connector as opposed to the conventional 12 Noon location—facilitating a space saving of approximately 20% in a vertical stacking configuration.
Neutrik’s new Asymmetric Push Tab is initially being introduced as an option for the following parts: NC3FAAH1-DA, NC3FAAV1-DA, NC3FAH1-DA, NC3FAH2-DA, NC3FAV1-DA, NC3FAV2-DA, NC5FAH-DA, NC5FAV-DA, NC3FBH1-DA, NC3FBH2-DA, NC3FBV1-DA, NC3FBV2-DA, NCJ6FA-H-DA, and NCJ6FA-V-DA. The -DA suffix indicates “disassembled (i.e. latch packed separately), asymmetrical.”
This listing reflects most possible combinations. Based on customer requests and quantity commitments, the company can—in the future—release additional special versions with asymmetric push tabs within the etherCON Cat 5 A series, combo I series, and XLR DLX series.
For small quantities, customers can order the Asymmetric Push Tab as a stand-alone accessory part (PUSH-ASYM) and combine it with every “-D” packaged product in the A series, AA series, B series, etherCON Cat 5 A series, combo I series, and XLR DLX series.
Fred Morgenstern, Neutrik USA’s product director, comments on the new Asymmetrical Push Tabs, “These new asymmetrical push tabs are a great product in a number of ways—they’re cool looking, they’re a great differentiator, and they make enormous sense for any applications where vertical space above the connectors may be constrained. We expect to see these new tabs adopted in portable devices, plug-in cards for digital mixers (e.g. for digital signal transmission), and other environments where compactness and density have value.”
Neutrik’s Asymmetrical Push Tabs will be available Q3, 2017.
